Home Hadith Hadith 35276
Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-
Rahman ibn Awf from Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If someone is
given a life pension, for him and his posterity, it belongs to the
person to whom it has been given. It never reverts to the one who gave
it because he gave a gift and the rules of inheritance apply to it."
Muwatta Malik Book 36, Hadith 60

Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "The way of doing things in
our community about which there is no dispute, is that if a man gives
sadaqa to his son - sadaqa which the son takes possession of or which
is in the father's keeping and the father has had his sadaqa
witnessed, he cannot take back any of it because he cannot reclaim any
sadaqa."

al-Qasim ibn Muhammad heard Makhul ad-Dimashqi ask al-Qasim ibn
Muhammad about the life pension and what people said about it. Al-
Qasim ibn Muhammad said, "I have only come upon people who keep to the
conditions they make about their property and what they are given."
